Studio Banana successfully raised more than $820,000 via Indiegogo, ensuring that its ear-free headphones continue in development and production. This follows a previous successful funding campaign via the Kickstarter crowdfunding website last year, which also raised just over $820,000.
This achievement demonstrates that it is possible to use both major crowdfunding platforms consecutively to gather additional funds for development and production. Studio Banana elaborates on the inspiration and design of the unique Batband.
Innovative Design and Technology
The Batband headphones stand out due to their innovative use of bone-conduction technology. Unlike traditional headphones that cover or insert into the ears, Batband transmits sound through the bones of the skull. This method leaves the ears free, allowing users to remain aware of their surroundings while enjoying high-fidelity audio. This is particularly beneficial for activities such as cycling, jogging, or even working in environments where situational awareness is crucial.
In late 2015 we unveiled BATBAND, a ground-breaking high fidelity bone-conduction headphone. After almost 2 years of concept, design and engineering work, it was the right time to have a reality check and confront our idea with the world. We are proud to say that the result was a major crowdfunding success.
We now bring this acclaimed product to the Indiegogo community with the certainty and reassurance provided by 6 months of engineering fine-tuning and manufacturing preparation. The quality of the BATBAND™ has kept increasing in parallel to our expectations and we hope you will find its sleek design and unique acoustic experience as appealing as thousands of other early adopters have.
Community and Crowdfunding Success
The success of Batband on both Kickstarter and Indiegogo highlights the power of community support in bringing innovative products to market. Crowdfunding not only provides the necessary financial backing but also validates the product concept through the enthusiasm and commitment of backers. For Studio Banana, the dual-platform approach allowed them to refine their product further and ensure a higher quality final version.
The Batband campaign also underscores the importance of continuous engagement with the community. By keeping backers informed and involved throughout the development process, Studio Banana was able to build a loyal customer base eager to support the product’s journey from concept to reality.
The Batband’s sleek design and unique acoustic experience have already garnered significant attention and praise from early adopters. As the product moves closer to widespread availability, it is poised to make a substantial impact on the headphone market, offering a compelling alternative to traditional audio devices.
